Pork Chops In Browned Butter With Mushrooms Food

PORK CHOPS IN BROWNED BUTTER WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add garlic and cook until butter foams, stirring constantly, about 1 minute. Continue to cook until brown bits of butter form at the bottom of the skillet, 3 to 5 minutes
• Season pork chops with salt and pepper and add to skillet. Cook until no longer pink in the center, flipping once, about 8 minutes . Transfer to a plate and cover loosely.
• Lower heat and add mushrooms to the same skillet. Cook until mushrooms are soft and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Whisk in flour until no lumps remain. Slowly stir in milk and cook gravy until thickened as desired, 5 to 7 minutes. Return pork chops to the gravy and heat for 5 to 10 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

PICKLE-BRINED PORK CHOPS WITH MUSHROOM ESCABECHE AND SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• For brining the pork chops: Combine the salt, sugar, peppercorns, bay leaves, garlic, lemon peels and parsley with 3 quarts water in a large pot or bowl and whisk together. Add the pork chops, cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, turning once halfway through. This may seem like a long time, but these are seriously big pork chops. Brining will make your pork so tender and flavor it throughout.
• For the smashed potatoes: Place the potatoes in large pot and cover with salted cold water. The potatoes will soak up that salt like pasta and it will make a big difference in flavor. Cover and bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain the potatoes, and return them to the same pot, allowing them to dry. Melt the butter with the half-and-half in a small saucepot over low heat. Add to the potatoes along with the cream cheese and season with salt and pepper. Smash with a potato masher and set aside, keeping warm until ready to serve.
• For the mushroom escabeche: Heat the canola oil in a large saute pan over high heat. Add the mushrooms and saute until lightly browned in spots, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, remove from the heat and reserve. Heat the olive oil in a small saucepot over medium heat and saute the garlic and shallots until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the vinegar, sugar, chili flakes and lemon zest and juice. Bring to a simmer and then turn off the heat. Return the reserved mushrooms to the pot, toss to combine and absorb all of that flavor. Garnish with parsley.
• For preparing the pork chops: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat a grill pan over high heat. Remove the chops from the brine and dry completely with paper towels. Drizzle with canola oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Place the chops on the grill and sear until browned, 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Transfer to a sheet tray and finish cooking in the oven until an internal temperature reaches 135 to 140 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil. Let rest 5 to 10 minutes.
• Serve the pork chops over the smashed potatoes and top with the mushrooms.

PORK CHOPS WITH MUSHROOMS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Trim fat off pork chops and season generously with seasoning salt.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add pork chops and cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer pork chops to a plate.
• Pour chicken broth into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add mushrooms, onion, and butter; simmer for 5 minutes. Transfer 2 tablespoons of sauce to a small bowl.
• Add flour to the sauce in the bowl and mix with a fork until no lumps remain. Pour slurry back into the skillet and stir until combined with the sauce.
• Return pork chops to the skillet. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove lid and continue cooking until gravy has reached desired thickness and pork chops are no longer pink in the center. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). For a thicker gravy, mix in more flour.

PORK CHOPS WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• For the chops:.
• Mix salt, paprika and pepper in a small bowl, rub onto chops.
• Heat oil& butter (or Pam) in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Brown chops 3 minutes per side.
• Cover, reduce to medium and cook until inside is just pink and juices run clear when pricked, about 10 mins; flip chops halfway thorough.
• (Since I was using very thick chops I started them off in the pan as directed and finished them in the microwave.) Serve with Mushroom Sauce and lemon wedges.
• Mushroom Sauce.
• Melt butter over medium heat.
• Add onion and garlic, saute until translucent, about 4 minutes.
• Add mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and begin to brown, about 10 minutes.
• (I had actually planned to use canned mushroom slices and wouldn't have cooked it 10 miutes).
• Add thyme, zest and wine/sherry, and the broth; simmer until liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in cream, salt and pepper, simmer until lightly coats back of spoon.
• (Since the fat free half& half doesn't thicken that well, I used less liquid to begin with, and I always turn off the pan before adding the half& half.) Prep time and cook time is combined for both.
• Most of the chop cook time was pretty passive, but the sauce was more active.
